I just picked up a 2007 SG and it already had the iPod
system with it in the right saddlebag. Unfortunately I don't
own a single iTune. Prefer to buy MP3's off Amazon.
I thought that if you used an iPod that you HAD to load
it with iTunes. Go figure! Now I see that I can put all my
MP3's on it as well. Guess it's iPod time.
To get around it, I actually had already ordered an
adapter cable off Amazon that would connect to the
iPod plug and then plug into the headphone jack of
anything else.
i've mentioned before, so i'll throw it out there again. if you use an ipod, you don't have to use itunes. there are a couple of programs that will completely bypass itunes and you can manage your music, and even upload to your ipod.
the one that i am familiar with is media monkey. it's also free. though they do have a paid version and a subscription version as well. but the free version works just fine.

You can use iTunes to organize your music, and synch all of your personal mp3 files onto your iPod. No restrictions. You're golden!
yea I'm with you on this. If you plug in a device to a computer with iTunes on it, it will immediately attempt to destroy the music library on the device before it will sync to it.
We're making rookie mistakes here!
All you do is uninstall iTunes from the computer. Once that's done, you connect the iPod and the computer will see the device as an external hard drive. Now, copy the entire contents of the iPod into a folder on the machine. Once that's done, re-install iTunes, and import all of the music from the folder that you created. Synch.

I like everything you said right up to the point where you're putting that money grabbing,save the world, POS, itunes program back on.
I gave a 8gb iPod that my wife had to have and never used it. That plays music through the radio modulator. Not great but works for me. When I get some more cash, I will go the Bluetooth setup mod from Iron Cross. Sent from my iPhone using IB AutoGroup
Apple sux. Apple thinks it owns your device and your music. You can't turn it on without logging into the Apple Store. iTunes won't store and manage YOUR music. iTunes only manages, and stores music bought from the Apple Store.
Apple wouldn't let me transfer my 3,500 tunes of MY MUSIC (NOT iTunes Store) from my old laptop to my new laptop.
Apple SUX --
Samsung is beating Apple to death in the MP3 market, in phones, tablets, etc. Samsung is leading the pack in TV tech and media tech generally.
So allow me to weigh in....iTunes can manage all of your music. I have about 250g/38000+ tracks that 99% of which were not bought from iTunes but from my personal library. But, on PC it is not the best tool to manage a large library, there are a few others that I've used that work better. However, because we recently transferred all of the daily use data, including multimedia to my wife's Mac, iTunes seems to be the current choice as my time has been limited with experimenting with other media management software on that platform.
Now that I have a bike with a stereo I want to hook up my own music as changing disks suck. Confused on the different generations of iPod and can find them reasonably priced on eBay. Being as that I have the music stored on iTunes for my iPhone thinking the iPod would be a better option. I could convert to MP3 but wanting thoughts.
I used a gen 3 ipod touch with a mikes stainless creations holder that mounts to the handlebar control and an isimple cord that charges the ipod and puts the music to the aux port.
That was before I changed the audio system to an Alpine with front USB and got a mini USB drive to store the music

Didn't know you could play MP3's with an iPod
